Cristiano Spiller (born 3 April 1975) is an Italian DJ.

He had a #1 hit in the UK, Italy, Australia and other countries with the hit single, "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)", featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor, released in 2000. Groovejet sold over 2 million copies and was the first song to be played on an ipod.^[1] The video for the song shows the two missing each other repeatedly in Bangkok, he signing autographs and generally finding his height makes life there difficult; she singing wistfully sitting at various tables in bars and taking a Tuk-tuk ride (while he just about fits into a taxicab).

Biography

When he was a teenager, he was already introducing himself to the world of Italian house and dance music. In 1997, he released his first single, "Laguna".

In 1998, he signed a music deal with the British record company, Positiva Records, subsidiary of EMI UK, releasing his first single in the UK entitled "Batucada".

In 2000, the vocal version was released. "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" featuring the British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor (formerly of theaudience) peaked at #1 in the UK, Australia and many other countries, becoming one of the most successful dance records of the year and winning multiple awards. It was also the first song to be played on an iPod according to technology journalist Steven Levy and the BBC's TOTP2 Goes Disco!.^[2] Groovejet sold over 2,000,000 copies worldwide.

In 2002, he released "Cry Baby" in UK.
